2.1 GENERAL
The Directorate General of Training (DGT) under Ministry of Skill Development &
Entrepreneurship offers a range of vocational training courses catering to the need of different
sectors of economy/ Labour market. The vocational training programmes are delivered under
the aegis of Directorate General of Training (DGT). Craftsman Training Scheme (CTS) with
variants and Apprenticeship Training Scheme (ATS) are two pioneer schemes of DGT for
strengthening vocational training.
Refrigeration and Air Conditioning Technician trade under CTS is one of the most
popular courses delivered nationwide through a network of ITIs. The course is of two years
duration. It mainly consists of Domain area and Core area. The Domain area (Trade Theory &
Practical) imparts professional skills and knowledge, while Core area (Workshop Calculation
science, Engineering Drawing and Employability Skills) imparts requisite core skill & knowledge
and life skills. After passing out of the training programme, the trainee is awarded National
Trade Certificate (NTC) by DGT which is recognized worldwide.
• Read and interpret technical parameters/ documentation, plan and organize work
processes, identify necessary materials and tools.
• Perform task with due consideration to safety rules, accident prevention regulations and
environmental protection stipulations.
• Apply professional knowledge & employability skills while performing the job and
modification & maintenance work.
• Check the components as per drawing for functioning, identify and rectify errors in
components.
• Document the technical parameter related to the task undertaken.
3
Refrigeration and Air Condition Technician
• Can join Crafts Instructor Training Scheme (CITS) in the trade for becoming instructor in
ITIs.
• Can join advanced Diploma (Vocational) courses under DGT as applicable.
a) The Continuous Assessment (Internal) during the period of training will be done by
Formative Assessment Method by testing for assessment criteria listed against learning
outcomes. The training institute have to maintain individual trainee portfolio as detailed in
assessment guideline. The marks of internal assessment will be as per the formative assessment
template provided on www.bharatskills.gov.in
b) The final assessment will be in the form of summative assessment. The All India Trade Test
for awarding NTC will be conducted by Controller of examinations, DGT as per the guidelines.
The pattern and marking structure is being notified by DGT from time to time. The learning
outcome and assessment criteria will be basis for setting question papers for final
assessment. The examiner during final examination will also check individual trainee’s profile
as detailed in assessment guideline before giving marks for practical examination.
